Why is this young activist risk freedom to speak against the Turkish President

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators calling for democracy have noted the protests against the greatest government in the country, celebrating the streets on Turkey.

Protests on March 19, Istanbul Mayor Akram Imamoglu in response to the arrest of corruption charges.

Imamoglu, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the main political opponent. He continued as the presidential candidate for the upcoming election by the Republican People’s Party (CHP).

Protests ended with the end of the demonstration of demonstrations, with protesters, more political reforms and Erdogan’s rule to release Imamoglu.

Almost 2,000 people were detained, including more than one week, student leaders, journalists and municipal employees.

Spent Quite Host Nile Koksal return to Turkey and protests against government.

What was like to return?

What I feel is the mixture of euphoria and stress – I will not know that I will be kept in the next hour. But I get 10 because of the euphoria, I get 10, I get 10 to be put to prison or kill, I get 10 because of a wakeful call.

Did your family worried after seeing this speech was shared and reset?

Yes. I was worried about what I could enter the country without arrest.

Ready to be arrested?

Yes. Unfortunately, as we talk, 301 of my peers are in prison waiting to be arrested.

We are not sure that we will not join or not. However, I am preparing to prepare a bag and say that I love my mother and to make myself in such a way that I will be mentally for a failed results.

Why such a vocal so many young people?

Mayor Imamoglu, since 2019, became the main opposition triumphant against Erdogan. However, these protests are not necessarily about Imamoglu.

Demonstrations are aimed at media censorship, authoritarianism, freedom of expression and assembly, all together.

They are not necessarily protests for Imamoglu, but against Erdogan. Why did the Turkish youth beyond this day that they lost their future.

They lost their capabilities, but they lost their fears while doing it. Nothing left to fear. Thus, it is so easy on the streets fighting for a future.

Do you see a difference this time compared to past protests?

The biggest difference in particular comparison Gezi protests in 2013 and 2014Which is the biggest intersection, which is the largest in the decade.

Erdogan won many enemies in the last ten years that people do not care about the differences. If you are just in favor of Erdogan or Erdogan, they are just interested.

I have never seen such a comprehensive, such a variety of protests. They know that they are against Erdogan, and it is enough for them.

Even the slogan used by the CHP for these protests, “There is no salvation or not, not.”

We are so polarized in the country, so that we are so polarized, it is the only way to follow.

Do you think (economic boycott) hope your type and supporters?

Yes, I think so. If not, although there is a great impact on the country’s economy, I think that this will feel that they can do anything.

What would you like to hear and see from other countries?

I say that the main problem in Turkey will not pay attention to protests, so the proposed for the proposals for decisions abroad, I will be able to talk to these human rights violations so that I would be able to contact your decision-making.

Currently, how do you feel the potential for release of climatic and imamoglu and the type of change you want to see?

Given that I have not yet politicians, I speak to the same people, I do not spend my days in parliament, and I speak to the same people.

I always go to the streets, I see people in people, I see the hope of youth. That’s what makes me optimistic.

It does not consist of imamoglu (of), which we talk to the possible future. It just consists of democracy (of). Consists of human rights (). This is a unified … a cutting future where human rights and rule of law are respected.
